Blackberrybabes.com is here!

blackberrybabes.com is an entertainment, news and gossip blog which took flight on the 1st of Sept.

Now, I would have expected this Radar to detect anything that flies in the Sky but then, Lordbanks knows best.

I would like your opinions on the Blog.

Thanks

I don’t like your URL

Why should I read your blog instead of Lindaikeji?

What do you have to offer?

Congrats on your new blog.
In addition to what @lawwyy noted, I’ll say I also don’t like the look and feel of your websites. IMO ads from day 1 is a turnoff, Theres two banners atop that have nothing to do with your website, your background is pixelated (at least on my screen), and a host of other things.

I did see one neat feature though, and that is the translate button…which works, surprisingly.

You don’t like the URL because?

@ efemoney.

Thank you for the good wishes.

The hardest thing in every tech is starting. Once you start, everything can be tweaked as you go along.

But this isn’t tech. This is media and entertainment using a well established technology as an outlet. From your POV, starting is actually the easiest thing (as can be seen from the numerous linda wannabes out there). Starting right however, is hard.

Just a question.

Can you explain more on “Starting Right”? And How will someone know he’s on the right track?

I disagree.

The hardest part (from their perspective) is the technology.

They can only be as good as their tech.

They can’t tell interactive stories or generate dope charts and infographics. Their ability to entertain is directly limited by their tech stack. Same as distribution, design etc.

Tech plays a major part here. The only thing is it’s not cutting edge tech.

Why blackberry babes?

You make good points, but you are thinking too far ahead on this already. With the stories I see on the site, and the unactionable ads, a domain name from a movie that’s already out of fashion (I may be giving the gossip market too much credit here), I would say interactive stories, dope charts and infographics weren’t in the plan. But now we have Schrodinger’s cat problem by virtue of you mentioning that.

@kelz An example of “starting right” (Differentiation) would be where nobody has to ask this question:

Xolubi…all you mentioned above you will see.

The domain name has come to stay.

Well, why not?

If you can’t even answer why you’re naming your blog a certain thing, or why it shouldn’t just be written off as a Linda Ikeji clone (right down to the look, colour and ad-abuse), then you’re not doing a good job of selling your product, don’t you think?

There are too many ads. I’d suggest that you spend time building a readership first. There should be people who are attracted to your blog for the content for all the right reasons before you bombard them with ads.

The layout and colors could use some work as well.

The ads are very distracting. And you need to use some sort of ad serving platform instead of just plain images (try DFP).
